The educational divide in political preferences.

Check out the divide in the new Monmouth poll between those with a college degree and those without one. Trump wins those with no degree 47-44, while Biden wins those with a degree 63-28. Yikes!

We are obviously smarter and my guess is a lot of Trumpsters resent us for making them feel inferior. And the less curious of them don’t investigate toward any truth. So a vast majority of them consistently vote against their own personal well being.

That was my Mom’s family. Hardly had a pot to pee in but kept voting for republicans who couldn’t care less about them. She voted with my Dad and his family up in Columbus, and eventually my Sister and I.
